Help with Ford 9" and LS1 brakes

[67rstbkt]

Just wanted to take a minute to update this with my solution. I ended up using the full Camaro setup (aka LS1 brakes) with the corvette caliper.

I ordered my new axles with a 2.5" offset, which worked out well with the new brakes.

To solve the problem of the Ford style bearing hanging out of the housing end, I took the backing plates to a machine shop and had them remove .105
They made a perfect cut and I like that the seal sits inside a recess rather than a plate sit flat against it.

If someone else decides to run this style brake on a Ford 9" with GM ends, I would suggest getting the flush mount housing ends so you do not have to worry about getting the backing plates machined.

I also reversed the sides so that the calipers are located towards the rear instead of the foward side of the wheel. There is a little more space for the large caliper clocking it this way. Also, this will change the e-brake cable configuration to a forward pull.

The rubber boots on the backside were very well worn and I could not find just rubber boots, so I used the rubber from my old B&M shifter to make new ones. I just cut a slit for the lever, slid over the new rubber, re-attached the factory cover, then trimmed off the excess (I don't have a picture of it).
